Correct me if I'm wrong but, as far as I'm aware, SDL isn't based on OpenGL
at all. If you're only creating 2D content, you don't need a working OpenGL
implementation on your target platform.

That's a more important issue, I'll admit.

Personally, I'm not in favour of sweeping all the most popular third
party libraries into the standard library, although I can understand the
motivation of the original poster for wanting to include Pygame.
